According to Wunderground, it'll still be around 100 degrees at 9:30, but since sun will be down, I suspect that makes it manageable. Not staying up until 1am EST to see the 1500 through.

New Balance Nationals had a very long delay years ago due to thunderstorms. It was very hot that weekend. Even with running the 5000m around mid-night the woman were still suffering during and after the race.

NBC can splice together all the footage they have shown of Allyson Felix's daughter to fill the 5 hour air time now left open

lmao.

Anyone know how talyiah brooks is doing? I heard Monson was still in hospital today after passing out after awards ceremony yesterday.

Remember, USATF has never done anything for the benefit of the athletes. The fat cats are sweating like the pigs they are . The schedule change is for themselves.

You think anyone on the field is making the decisions? You are wrong! The lawyers called this one i am sure.

Looks like Connor Mantz watched Pre last night.

Is there footage?

It’s still going to be 99 at 9 pm local time and over 90 at 10 pm.

Probably should just move Olympic T&F to Kezar stadium in SF. Right now it’s 58 degrees and foggy.

They mentioned NBCSN will be airing when it comes live again. Anyone know if we will be able to access the same nbcolympics.com stream with the 45 minutes free pass? Or is the NBCSN stream completely separate?

I think NBCOlympics has most or all events. NBCSN channel shows are on PeacockTV streaming servcie. There have been one or more people on Youtube uploading a live fee.

In the Vegas area, I do hour runs as a middle-aged man. And I don't live there either. City workers in their 40's - 50's spend all day in the heat. The events were scheduled then.

Wow every follow up post makes you look dumber and dumber. Go take a walk.

Another instance of USATF being completely and utterly incompetent, stubborn, and greedy.

I can’t wait to hear AA’s rationalization of how us criticizing USATF’s incompetence and endangering athletes is racist.

Max Seigel wouldn’t know how hot it is in his air conditioned suite along with the money of laid off USATF employees fanning him.

The sensible solution would have been to run everything this morning and show it on tape delay tonight in primetime. As if being live matters to the audience that NBC is trying to appeal to.

Looks like she was in 4th place after the long jump. Not sure what she is like in the javelin and 800m.

Standings after long jump

Kunz - 5049

Williams - 5006

Bougard - 4919

Brooks - 4908

Track is up to 146 deg F

You're right. A trials athlete in their teens, 20s, 30s, is supposed to be much more ready to handle a competition no matter the conditions. That's their job.

My guess as well is the athletes would rather compete now & not wait. I doubt Centro & Hocker are happy to delay getting it on vs another.

As an athlete, I would rather not die of heat stroke

Ghost of Pre: 71 in Coos Bay.

Did Craig Engels really show up not knowing the race had been delayed? I turned the tv on at 7 & they showed him walking up to get his hip # & He was the only athlete in the room

i was gonna suggest moving the 1500 to Beaverton, but its 112 there. The weather is straight up crazy.
